Abstract
A first device uses a secondary communication channel to send its public IP address to a second device to setup point-to-point communication over a primary communication channel, such as a public computer network. The secondary channel may be a public switched telephone network, a circuit-switched voice channel in cellular network, a packet-switched voice channel in cellular network, a conventional VoIP service, a text or multimedia channel in a cellular network, a data channel in a cable television or a satellite television network, or a radio frequency channel. Once the connection over the pubic computer network has been established, the first and the second devices exchange data packets carrying text, voice, video, or other data.

- A conventional Voice over Internet Protocol (IP) communication system uses a centralized directory to establish a connection between VoIP devices over a public computer network (e.g., the Internet). The centralized directory associates static usernames and identities with IP addresses that are likely to change. A change in IP address can occur when a user relocates or reconnects to a network with a dynamic IP address. The centralized directory logs each username and IP address and keeps track of whether users are online or not. When a first user at a first VoIP device wishes to communicate with a second user at a second VoIP device, the first user requests the IP address of the second user from the centralized directory and then uses the IP address to establish a connection with the second user over the Internet.
- Centralized directories become costly when the user base scales into the millions. Furthermore, many traditional telephone users are more comfortable with dialing telephone numbers than login into computers. Thus, what is needed is an IP communication system without a centralized directory that is more familiar to traditional telephone users.

- In one embodiment of the invention, a first device uses a secondary communication channel to send its public IP address to a second device to setup point-to-point communication over a primary communication channel, such as a public computer network. The secondary channel may be a public switched telephone network, a circuit-switched voice channel in cellular network, a packet-switched voice channel in cellular network, a conventional VoIP service, a text or multimedia channel in a cellular network, a data channel in a cable television or a satellite television network, or a radio frequency channel. Once the connection over the pubic computer network has been established, the first and the second devices exchange data packets carrying text, voice, video, or other data.
- U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/280,688, entitled “Using PSTN to Communicate IP Addresses for Point-to-Point Text, Voice, Video, or Data Communication,” filed on Nov. 15, 2005, discloses a method for using the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to exchange Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for point-to-point communication between two devices over a public computer network (e.g., the Internet). In one example, a first IP device uses the PSTN to send its IP address to a second IP device to setup a network connection over the public computer network. The second IP device then sends a network connection request to the first IP device over the public computer network using the IP address. Once the network connection has been established, the IP devices exchange data packets carrying text, voice, video, or data communications between their users. In addition to the PSTN, other communication channels are described in the present application for the IP devices to exchange their IP addresses.

If data channel 116 is a cable television network or a satellite network,VoIP telephone gateway 104 sends the data packet through a connected set-top box over the cable television or satellite network to another set-top box connected toVoIP telephone gateway 106. The set-top boxes connected toVoIP telephone gateways VoIP telephone gateway 104 sends the data packet using the RF frequency ofVoIP telephone gateway 106. - In
step 404B,VoIP telephone gateway 106 receives the data packet and parses the public IP address from the data packet. - In
optional step 406B,VoIP telephone gateway 106 sends a data packet with its public IP address toVoIP telephone gateway 104 overdata channel 116. - In
optional step 406B,VoIP telephone gateway 104 receives the data packet and parses the public IP address ofVoIP telephone gateway 106 from the data packet. - In
steps VoIP telephone gateways WAN 108 using their public IP addresses. - In
steps VoIP telephone gateways WAN 108. - In
steps VoIP telephone gateways WAN 108. Various other adaptations and combinations of features of the embodiments disclosed are within the scope of the invention. Numerous embodiments are encompassed by the following claims.
Claims (12)

communicating the public computer network address between the first and the second devices over the secondary communication channel;
establishing a network connection between the first and the second devices over the public computer network using the public computer network address; and
exchanging data packets between the first and the second devices over the public computer network.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the secondary channel is selected from the group consisting of a circuit-switched voice channel in a cellular network and a packet-switched voice channel in a cellular network.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein said communicating the public computer network address comprises:
the first device calling the second device over the secondary channel; and
the first device sending touch-tones representing the public computer network address to the second device.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the secondary channel is selected from the group consisting of a text channel in a cellular network and a multimedia channel in a cellular network.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein said communicating the public computer network address comprises the first device sending a message to a telephone number associated with the second device, wherein the message includes the public computer network address and the second device parses the public computer network address from the message.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the secondary channel is a Voice over Internet Protocol service.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein said communicating the public computer network address comprise:
the first device calling the second device over the secondary channel; and
the first device sending touch-tones representing the public computer network address to the second device.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the secondary channel is selected from the group consisting of a data channel in a cable television network and a data channel in a satellite network.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein said communicating the public computer network address comprises the first device sending a data packet to the second device, wherein the data packet includes the public computer network address and the second device parses the public computer network address from the data packet.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the secondary channel is a data channel in a radio frequency channel.
11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising, prior to said communicating the public computer network address:
scanning radio frequencies for peer devices; and
determining the second device from the peer devices.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein said communicating the public computer network address comprises the first device sending a data packet to the second device, wherein the data packet includes the public computer network address and the second device parses the public computer network address from the data packet.
